Clarkson set for FIBA World Cup as Gilas naturalized player

Jordan Clarkson will represent Gilas Pilipinas as its naturalized player in the FIBA World Cup, despite Justin Brownlee being a strong contender.

Brownlee expressed support for Clarkson and emphasized that his priority is the team's success rather than personal aspirations.

Clarkson's addition has significantly boosted the team's morale and energy during practices, with coach Chot Reyes noting an 'added layer' to their high-quality training sessions.

Despite not playing in the World Cup due to recovering from a medical procedure, Brownlee continues to support Gilas by observing practices and learning from Clarkson’s play style.
